How Long Would It Take to Fix a Larger Sized Gap in the Top Teeth?

September 7, 2010
Asked By:4047anon in NC

Im 20 years old, and I have a slightly larger than medium gap in my top two front teeth, and smaller gaps in the next three teeth on each side of my front teeth, I also have an overbite. I used to suck my thumb as a child, so Im pretty sure that is what caused this. My parents could never afford to get me braces, but now I am looking to get either braces or invisalign. Which would be better for me to get and about how long would it take to fix my teeth? thanks
